Just like the WHO—close, but not close enough to make it work.

CBC has “investigated” increased school absences, consulted 2 “experts,” and concluded it’s a mental health issue despite citing data showing sick days are up by 72% for elementary students and 50% for secondary students. Talk about ignoring evidence right in front of you. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Graphs from the linked CBC article showing spike in annual illnesses in four school boards. Screen shot of article “Too many children with long COVID are suffering in silence. Their greatest challenge? The myth that the virus is “harmless” for kids” by Hayley Gleason.Screen shot of headline “Second infection in kids doubles long COVID risk.”Screenshot of journal article “Long COVID is here to stay—even in children.”

Clean indoor air reduces illness. It’s ridiculous that we don’t already have indoor air quality regulations. And it’s ludicrous that we have to petition public health to get them to do something about this. But here we are. Please sign. You don’t have to live in Toronto to sign. cleanindoorairto.ca
Tell Toronto’s Board of Health to follow the science! Join CIATO in asking for the BOH to take steps to adopt Health Canada’s new guidelines for indoor air quality. Adopting these guidelines would benefit everything from physical & mental health to climate change resiliency. Sign our petition: bit.ly/ciatodec25

What's truly sick is Tylenol running an ad campaign, during a global flu surge that's already killed children, in which they encourage people to hide their symptoms and go out and spread the virus to friends and to strangers in crowds. In Canada you can file a complaint at adstandards.ca
Transit ad for Tylenol. Top half shows photo of sick woman with tissues and tea. Bottom half has photo of the same woman smiling and laughing with two other women. Box of Tylenol Cold and Flu. Text: "Sick to Siiiick. Relief from your worst cold, cough & flu symptoms."Transit ad for Tylenol.

Math problem: If all TDSB students & staff are infected with Covid at school at least once a year, and the risk of Long Covid is 15% after the first infection, 23% after the second, and 37% after the third, how long will it be before all TDSB students & staff have Long Covid? @tdsbmath.bsky.social

Apparently, a 12-year-old girl in Connecticut just invented the Corsi-Rosenthal box. Thrilled to see these going into schools but worried about this kid when everyone figures out it wasn’t her invention.
Screenshot of IG post. Headline: “12-year-old girl created virus-killing air filters for classrooms. They were so good that the state approved $11.5 million to install her systems in schools.” Photo of young girl with dark skin and beaded braids wearing orange zip-up shirt standing in classroom with teacher with light skin and long dark blonde hair wearing green shirt and beige wool pants. Teacher has arm around girl. Both are smiling. Girl holds paper with image of a Corsi-Rosenthal box on it.
